APPRECIATION

For F&T and H&J

 

Mothering Sunday, it’s called.
Fancy that!
In our little rural backwater
on the primordial slopes
of the rolling Cambrian massive, 
with a Victorian history
of Spas, railway aqueducts,
a dated leisure-land of
Lakes, Parks  balconies and handsome houses
besides, whaddoyouknow,
in an erstwhile ironmongers
 in mid-town:
an epicurean start-up 
  has been instated with skill and taste,
where writers and musicians can convene, 
to titivate palates and welcome company:
where an old lady with a dog can safely come; 
for family gatherings
or alone for yummy soups:
tapas, sesame haloumi, patatas bravas, galettes 
and other deli-delights
with homemade sourdoughs
and continental sweets. 
 
Whata mothers’ special treat!
